Hi,
got a o2 man ringing shortly tonight...offering me 200 texts and 600 minutes for £22.50 per month. I want to get it cheaper, he said he'd give me a free phone obviously as an upgrade.
I want more texts...can anybody give me any advice/help on how to go about getting him to give me a better deal, or how to word it????
Cheers Guys,
Ben

I doubt that you will get better. Just try for the best phone you can get.

Ok, i'm looking at the k800i, real nice...but i'll never get it with this contract... any ideas for a good phone i can push for (reasonable)
Cheers,
Ben

I got the O2 XDA Mini S on a free upgrade. Can't reccomend it highly enough.
Posted by jenbones
LG Chocolate would be amazing...shame my friend has one and i'm always telling him it's crap for a joke

8800? Crap feature wise, well I mean it has everything you could ask for a phone... and looks great.

are you on o2 online? I was wondering what to do...my contract is finishing in a month and I wasn't sure whether to call them up to see what they will offer me...I doubt it'll be anything like what they offered me last year!
how about an N70? or an N80 though it's unlikely they'll give you that..
Posted by jenbones
N70's suck...N80 would be mint doubt it get it though!

Push for an n80 as there kickass phone with an total amazing screen, but i doubt you'll get it free!
On the tariff point, my sis was on 500 offpeak + 500 text for £25, shes pushed a tiny wee bit and got it to 125 anytime + 750 text for £25 which suits her needs alot more so push as far as you can!

I am on Online 400 and Online 100 and have been offered N91 at a ridiculous price and the XDA Mini S. So will get them in June.
Really chuffed about the XDA Mini S.
I found you can push them if you get the right person on the end of the phone.
Good Luck

Ok Cheers bud, i'm definatlly going to try for more texts, i'll try about 250 mins, 750 texts, an N80, don't mind paying a small amount but not wasting the money on the model of phone...

I just rang o2, been offered o2 200 at £15 and o2 500 at £20. They want £79.99 for the XDA Mini S. I see some people got it for free. How did you guys get it cheaper?
Is there anything better I can get for Free or very low outlay?

I phoned O2 to get an upgrade. I pushed them telling them I had been offered a better tariff the week before by one of their colleagues and he had told me to ring now cause my upgrade was only due now(complete lies on my part). So the woman couldn't say I was lying and told me she couldn't authorise a better tariff and she doubted he could. I said well he definitely did. So she said maybe I was cancelling and was in a different department. So she put me through to a woman who told me that they could only authorise a better tariff. So basically the upgrade department can't authorise it so threaten to cancel. I did this and the woman offered me 500 anytime xnet mins and 500 messages for £35 a month and a free phone. Bear in mind I payed £45 for 400 mins and 500 txts before this. I thought this was a good deal. She also could have offered 1000 mins anytime and xnet and 750 texts on an 18 month contract. Hope this helps

I think £35 for 500 xnet minutes and 500 texts is too expensive. I pay £20 for 500 xnet minutes and 200 texts. Do u have a free phone as well? I got a K750i and 2gb card and bluetooth headset with the deal as well.
Posted by sunjivas
yes that is too expensive, I'm paying £15 for 500mins and 400txt...got this deal end of june last year and paid £30 for my K750 then (was first week it had been released on o2)
Will be interesting to see what they can offer me this year!
